Join us for an interactive networking session on Kreattiv

Published on Wednesday 28 March 2018

Educators and creatives are invited for an interactive workshop in preparation for the 2018 KREATTIV fund

Throughout the workshop, led by Malcolm Galea, participants will have a chance to strengthen skills related to idea generation, preparation, implementation and presentation of projects. Together we will draw on successful elements from past KREATTIV experiences and discuss new exciting ideas.

Participants from schools and the creative sector will be invited to collaborate, share and work together on their project ideas. We will also share resources and information which will come in handy when approaching creatives and completing application through our new online system. The main aim of this morning is for participants to leave with the resources needed to present a strong application for the KREATTIV fund.

As such we are asking artists who are interested in collaborating on a KREATTIV project to send in a short paragraph highlighting their work and interests together with their contact details. This will be collated into a list and handed to educators present at the workshop. Educators can then approach artists to discuss ideas for collaboration.

The session will be held on Monday 9th April between 9.00am and noon at the Mount Carmel Community Theatre in Attard. Applications for the fund will be accepted through our online portal until Thursday 10 May 2018.
